The acronym "MOOC" stands for Massive Open Online Courses. The word "massive" here means that there is no limit on the number of learners who can enrol in the course. The word "open" means that there are no madatory requirements for the learner to enrol in this course. These courses are fully online and delivered through internet.
These courses are highly multimedia enriched interactive online courses which offer a unique opportunity to the learners to learn these courses as per their convenience. The basic philosophy of MOOCs is 3A's i.e., Anytime, Anyone, Anywhere.
All MOOCs of the various types developed under the aegis of MHRD by the various National Coordinators (UGC, CEC, IGNOU, NPTEL, etc.) shall be hosted on the web platform called "SWAYAM".

The UGC through PIs of e-PGPathshala has identified paper coordinators who are willing to offer their services as PI for a given course (paper). The role of course coordinators would be as follow:
1)To convert a course into MOOC in a comprehensive manner following the guidelines.
2)To ensure that model curriculum prescribed by the UGC is followed and the curricula is updated to cover all recent developments in the field .
